I would like to proudly announce that Mrs Pushpanjali Reddy truly deserves to be honored in the category of Business. As a Creative Entrepreneur, Pushpanjali Reddy believes in honest and frank communication and the evolution of women from their traditional role to that of the modern woman who juggles professional and personal tasks with aplomb and ease. Pushpanjali Reddy has always placed paramount importance on education and the continuous pursuit of excellence as the highest virtue. She has always followed her passions with an unerring and innate sense of direction beginning with her desire to create eco-friendly and cost-effective architectural marvels as the first woman builder to her more recent role as an Industrialist (again as the first women to start an uPVC unit) with an eco-friendly focus not just in philosophy but also in product. The firm Tropical Habitat India was founded in 1995 and heralded the creation of homely, affordable and well-designed apartment spaces. Realizing the change in attitude world over towards construction materials like wood, Ope Systems was born to provide Green Materials like uPVC windows & doors as an alternative to wood. Leader of an Organization Behind the Professional front lies the Pro-Bono core and as a woman, she has endeavored to offer better opportunities to future generations by means of knowledge and information sharing via the Directory for Women collated & published by deFacto. In a world where information overload is the norm, we still struggle to make sense of it all. The need for carefully categorized and structured information available at a young woman’s fingertips served as the driving force behind this venture.
